Liam Smith fears his brothers having to tell him to quit, as he goes into his fight against Chris Eubank Jr which has been overshadowed by the Merseysider's homophobic comments in the build-up to the Manchester Arena clash

The predominantly Mersey crowd in the Manchester Arena will not care one jot that their hero Liam Smith has subjected Chris Eubank Jr to false homophobic insinuations before Saturday's watershed fight for both of them.

Nor that his opponent was finally goaded by c-word insults into responding by accusing the third eldest of Liverpool's beloved fighting Smith brothers of marital infidelity.

They will be behind Smith to a man and woman regardless of how that totally unnecessary outburst might reflect on the proud scouse fraternity.
